The Time Is Now (Deluxe)

7digitalWhat we said:Five years ago, few could have predicted or dared imagine the Craig David renaissance that we have witnessed. He came to fame in the UK in the late 90s during the emergence of garage music, but his revival sees him more global than ever with those smooth as honey vocals on tracks with the likes of KAYTRANADA and Hardwellin the past couple years. So him calling his latest album The Time Is Now feels telling: with a g-funk-style feature from GoldLink and a EDM-pop turn from Bastille, from the singles alone it’s clear Craig knows how to make and curate R&B-infused pop bangers. For feel-good anthems, look no further: this is Craig’s moment.
